I wanted a connector between the controler and the break-in stand. I used a standard 25 pole DSUB connector but gold plated. I can use 5 amps a pin so with some pins parallel it is easy to connect the power. In the search of how to mount the connector I came to this.



Made a small PTFE plug to hold the cables coming from the inside.



Placed the connector and used some kit on the wires coming from the inside.



The other connector just goes over the nut



All finished



And in function

The large meter on the top is the temperature, the 3 small buttons right below it are to set the temperature and many other settings. The 4 digit meter on the left is a RPM meter. The blue meter is a current meter only on the motor, this will be an indicator of how far the pinch is taken away. The large knob is setting the RPM and the 2 switches are to switch on/of the motor and the heater.

Now I have to create a tube to fill the oil and a seal between the box and the cap, that will be cut out from a cheap silicone bake mat.
